The Green Bay Packers had an excellent showing in their week 1 opening loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, even with the field being a slip-and-slide. However, in brutal fashion, their star young quarterback Jordan Love exited the game with an apparent leg injury in the final second of the game.
Green Bay Packers Quarterback Limps Off The Field
While everyone is quickly thinking that this is the worst-case scenario, Love was able to hobble into a bit of a limp getting off the field.
Love was getting work done on his leg throughout the entire game, having trainers use a theragun to keep him loose, but he ended up suffering a leg injury in the final seconds.
Take a look at the play that injured the star quarterback:

Love was clearly in pain on the ground before being able to get up and leave the field. Head coach Matt LaFleur has a non-update after the game:
“I don’t know,” coach Matt LaFleur said twice when asked about Love’s status.
We will have to wait and see what the injury is, but this has not stopped fans from thinking the worst.
NFL and Green Bay Packers Fans In Shock Over Injury
Fans, and specifically Green Bay fans, were quick to think this might be a big issue for Love’s season. Prayers for up for Jordan that this is nothing serious and that he can return to the field as soon as possible.
prayers out to Jordan Love 🙏

Packers just lost Jordan Love because the NFL wanted to play in Brazil with real grass.
The whole time players were slipping.
Pay these football players more.

Last nights roughing the passer for Mahomes at least he got hit in the face.
Jordan love was already falling over and no contact to the head or neck.
